An enterprising drug smuggler was no match for airport security in Cancun Mexico, after being caught attempting to slip through customs with a guitar “completely made of drugs,” presumably cocaine, according to authorities.
A passenger passing through Cancun International Airport was flagged for further screening after the individual’s red electric guitar was put through an X-ray scanner.
The instrument caught the attention of customs personnel due to its abnormal weight. A drug dog was called to the scene, which quickly sniffed out the presence of an illicit substance.
It’s not clear how much cocaine was packed into the phony instrument. A photograph shows a diligent police canine pawing at the guitar, as his handler inspects the illicit object.
In a separate case, Mexican officials also announced that they had seized 58 kilograms (128 pounds) of cocaine, wrapped in 50 individual packages, from a passenger from Ecuador.
